Problem Demarcation

Why “problem demarcation” ? Best serve your client’s interest 1.  Establish what is your client’s real problem Be efficient 2.  Look only into issues that matter  In adequate detail Be accountable for your findings 3.  Make clear what you decide to ignore  Reflect on how this limits your conclusions

Problem demarcation How to proceed? 1. Starting point 2. Means-ends analysis 3. Several problem statements 4. Objectives trees + System boundaries 5. Compare & Choose

1. Choose one issue as a starting point

1. Choose one issue as a starting point reduce CO 2 emissions

2. Perform a means-ends analysis “means-ends box” reduce CO 2 emissions a single verb phrase

Why? reduce CO 2 emissions How?

make Port of How? Rotterdam more attractive reduce improve cost for eco-image investors reduce CO 2 Why? emissions

make Port of How? Rotterdam more attractive provide space reduce improve improve for future cost for eco-image quality of service expansion investors redevelop ban reduce improve develop reduce improve old polluting CO 2 logistic MV2 rent & fees infrastructure terrains industries emissions services generate facilitate (and so on) renewable CCS energy

Checking your means-ends analysis 1. Causality Does a means really help achieve the end?  2. Ownership Does your client really have the means?  3. Completeness Are all relevant issues included? 
